Dipper Takeover? [Merged]

[mike channon´s windmill]

Whoever would take over Liverpool now would have to be mad, debt liabilities to clear, stadium guarantees to live up to and then actually remaining competitive in the meantime with the financial fair play monitoring coming soon, makes no financial/business sense whatsoever.

Someone agrees with you....

First there is no way RBS will have a say for anything more than they are owed (inc interest). Unless they go through the process of calling in the loan as a bank would in a domestic mortgage situation they can't just sell the asset - they are a debt provider not the equity (share) holder.

I believe that RBS do have a say. When they did the refinancing in April (very reluctantly as we all agree) I believe they agreed that a sale would be done by October and that they had the right to force a sale before then, even if the dynamic duo weren't amenable.

And the situation with them as debt-holder is analagous to the rags situation, where the three hedge funds can take over the equity if they fail to meet certain conditions. It all depends on the actual covenants but Liverpool would have been forced to swallow whatever RBS threw at them in April as the alternative was forced sale/administration.

It'll be interesting to read the thoughts of Liverpool fans if the take over goes ahead and Woy is given 100 million to splurge.

They'd definitely be ruining football.

so ive got this right is this what may be happening...

h&g owe rbs a couple of hundred million

rbs could sell this loan on

whoever buys this loan could call in the loan if h&g default on a payment and therefor own liverpool at a knock down price

it could all be made up bollocks just to scare h&g into selling up quickly

Whoeverwh would take over Liverpool now would have to be mad, debt liabilities to clear, stadium guarantees to live up to and then actually remaining competitive in the meantime with the financial fair play monitoring coming soon, makes no financial/business sense whatsoever.

Which is why the only semi likely deal at the moment is a discounted/distressed deal.

With 2 provisos. A) Liverpool remains a big big club and one that has generated £100m+ revenues from a relatively poor city; B) Business and especially football business is not a precise science and there is often one more "idiot" ready to go on an ego filled multi million pound journey to failure...

The minute the thought of us not being one of the big boys enters our minds is the day this club ceases to exist.

We are liverpool fc and a club like no other and exist as huyton red states to win and win big.

The delusion is strong in this one!

These tossers are always banging on about "history" they should learn a bit about their own club - 8 seasons on the bounce in the second tier up to 1962. I'm fairly certain that "plastic, no history" City have never had such a long period out of the top division.

so is this happening or not?
